createModel

public static ModelBean createModel(Class<?> clazz)

Instrospects the provided class and creates a ModelBean instance. A program could customize this and call generateJavascript(ModelBean, OutputFormat, boolean) or writeModel(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, ModelBean, OutputFormat) to create the JS code. Calling this method does not add any validation configuration.

Parameters:

clazz - the model will be created based on this class.

Returns:

a instance of ModelBean that describes the provided class and can be used for Javascript generation.

createModel

public static ModelBean createModel(Class<?> clazz,
                    IncludeValidation includeValidation)

Instrospects the provided class and creates a ModelBean instance. A program could customize this and call generateJavascript(ModelBean, OutputFormat, boolean) or writeModel(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, ModelBean, OutputFormat) to create the JS code. Models are being cached. A second call with the same parameters will return the model from the cache.

Parameters:

clazz - the model will be created based on this class.

includeValidation - specifies what validation configuration should be added

Returns:

a instance of ModelBean that describes the provided class and can be used for Javascript generation.

generateJavascript

public static String generateJavascript(Class<?> clazz,
                        OutputFormat format,
                        boolean debug)

Instrospects the provided class, creates a model object (JS code) and returns it. This method does not add any validation configuration.

Parameters:

clazz - class that the generator should introspect

format - specifies which code (ExtJS or Touch) the generator should create

debug - if true the generator creates the output in pretty format, false the output is compressed

Returns:

the generated model object (JS code)

generateJavascript

public static String generateJavascript(Class<?> clazz,
                        OutputFormat format,
                        IncludeValidation includeValidation,
                        boolean debug)

Instrospects the provided class, creates a model object (JS code) and returns it.

Parameters:

clazz - class that the generator should introspect

format - specifies which code (ExtJS or Touch) the generator should create

includeValidation - specifies what validation configuration should be added to the mode code

debug - if true the generator creates the output in pretty format, false the output is compressed

Returns:

the generated model object (JS code)

generateJavascript

public static String generateJavascript(ModelBean model,
                        OutputFormat format,
                        boolean debug)

Creates JS code based on the provided ModelBean in the specified OutputFormat. Code can be generated in pretty or compressed format. The generated code is cached unless debug is true. A second call to this method with the same model name and format will return the code from the cache.

Parameters:

model - generate code based on this ModelBean

format - specifies which code (ExtJS or Touch) the generator should create

debug - if true the generator creates the output in pretty format, false the output is compressed

Returns:

the generated model object (JS code)

clearCaches

public static void clearCaches()

Clears the model and Javascript code caches
